Description: A well presented detached Chalet bungalow property that we believe was originally constructed in 1930, and has more recently been extended and the loft converted by the current owners. The property is of traditional brick construction with cedar cladding on the first floor elevations, with UPVC double glazed casement frame windows all beneath a pitched tiled roof. To the side of the property is an attached timber frame workshop with stained weatherboard elevations and flat felt roof.

The property is accessed off Grove Lane with hard standing side drive providing off street car parking for up to 4 vehicles and access to a side car port and beyond an attached garage / workshop, while at the centre of the property is a picket gate leading from the lane up a paved path through the front garden to the front door.

The property is accessed at the front via a central front door that opens into an entrance hallway that leads through the property to an open plan kitchen / dining room with large rear glazed windows and sliding doors that open out to the rear garden. The kitchen is handmade oak shaker units painted in slate grey with laminate marble effect worktops. The kitchen has a composite sink and drainer with cooker tap, integrated Bosch appliances including dishwasher, large fridge, large freezer, microwave, and eye level oven, gas hob with extractor above. There is also fitted cupboards housing a washing machine and tumble dryer, while the main island unit also benefits from a hand crafted oak breakfast bar making for an ideal socialising area.
Accessed off the kitchen / dining room is a ground floor double bedroom with rear facing window and next to this is the family bathroom with modern panel bath with power shower above, close coupled WC and washbasin with vanity unit below. On the opposite side of the kitchen is an access door into a large workshop / garage which has been fully insulated and benefits from wooden double doors at the front opening out into the car port while at the rear are glazed French doors opening out to the garden.
The main living room is accessed from the entrance hallway with front facing window, stripped wooden flooring and central feature fireplace with wood burner. On the opposite side of the hallway is a further double bedroom with built in cupboards and front facing window.
Stairs lead from the entrance hall up to a first floor principal bedroom with dressing area with Velux window and built in wardrobes and draws leading through to the main bedroom area with glazed feature wall window with glazed door opening out onto a covered balcony that enjoys fine vistas looking over the rear garden and surrounding fields. There are two attic storage areas accessed from the top of the stairs and also through a wardrobe in the dressing area.
Externally the property benefits from a front facing lawn garden on the left of a paved central pedestrian path leading from a picket gate up to the front door, while to the right of the path is hard standing parking area for a number of vehicles and access to a side covered car port. Paved paths lead either side of the property to a rear paved south facing seating area with vine covered pergola looking out over a generous lawn garden with rear post and rail fencing. At the side of the garden is a large timber frame Wendy house and behind this a timber frame garden shed.
